Rudy Gobert on where the team has missed Kyle Anderson in the last two seasons: “I think just passing the ball. I’ll be honest, I’ll be straight up. Yeah, someone that is looking to pass the ball to his teammates.”
He’s right
He is. I’m sure people will be very normal about this!
It’s crazy that Rudy being the least graceful individual on the planet has people genuinely believing they should freeze out a center on offense.
He really needs to get his FT% up to the mid-60s again.
Despite his clumsiness, he has always been able to pin a small defender under the rim and force them to foul (he averaged 5.9 FTA/game over six year span). Now that those FTs are a coin toss it’s much less valuable.
It is less valuable, but just getting the other team into foul trouble earlier has always been the biggest advantage from that. It limits what they can do to everyone else on the court or it means they’re sending guys like Ant, Donte, etc. to the line more often.
means they’re sending guys like Ant to the line more often

That’s true his FT shooting has been disappointing this year
It has, but his true shooting is still 67%, which is sorta middle-of-the-road for his career.
The entire team’s free throw shooting has been disappointing this year. Randle and Ant frequently miss important free throws, we directly lost two games in a row in the beginning of the year against the suns and the kings because of terrible free throw shooting in clutch time.
He does seem to lock in on his FT’s when it counts, hopefully he gets more and more comfortable with his new shooting form as we lead up to the playoffs..
It’s less the grace with which he does not move, and more that he has hands like feet.
hands like feet
Rudy to appear in the next Tarantino movie
He doesnt have good hands offensively and the team doesnt have a real point guard to set him up, i dont see how this is based on his personality 🤷♂️
Graceful is not a personality lol I’m saying he looks like a giraffe with four different lengths for legs on the court, so fans think he’s trash because graceful players are easier for shallow fans of the sport to appreciate.
This was a very, very good description of his game and his narrative
Graceful has two definitions so its possible you could have been talking about his personality
The Wolves prioritizing the trio of Rudy - Randle - Naz over getting a competent point guard is bizarre to me. I get that Naz is a good 6th man and a fan favorite - but I just think they could get someone more impactful for the money they pay him.
Even if they pass him the ball he probably won’t catch it
I wouldn’t ask for much more than 10 points out of him, it’s his rebounding and defensive coverages that are more important
Brother has stones in place of his hands, I don’t blame a team freezing him out
He might have stones for hand but he’s still totally capable of ~15 ppg on really good efficiency since its all dunks and layups. He’s leading the league in 2pt%, FG% and eFG% this year.
You can’t cut out the most efficient shot in the modern NBA from your offense and have it not be at least a bit of a problem
ben wallace damn near won MVP averaging 7ppg on 48⁄45 splits (that would be FT%, not threes) and you’ve still got people handwaving away a DPOY guy about to complete his tenth straight year of double digit ppg on elite efficiency. its actually not that easy!
This might sound insane, but I think he can give you 20 ppg OR they start packing the paint more and then you have your midrange guys feasting. He can’t generate his own offense, but he’s generally the tallest guy there and can absolutely score if the defense isn’t on him, and if he’s one on one under the hoop with a shorter defender.
It does sound insane because it is insane.
You can’t have a good offense with Gobert getting 20 ppg in the current NBA.
If you want to tank, go ahead though.
And now we’ve gone too far
Deandre Ayton is second. It still doesn’t change that they have horrible hands.
Both him and Ayton are good for 2 stupid mistakes because they can’t hold a ball or catch a ball properly
Again, this has been less of a problem this season, and even still, the occasional whiff from Rudy is an acceptable compromise when the alternative is a completely stagnant offense that has to be bailed out by clutch time Ant heroics.
His lowlights look ugly as hell due to his stiffness, so people massively overrate the negative impact of his offensive deficiencies.
He also doesn’t turn the ball over that often. They’re up this year, but he’s at like 2.1 turnovers/100 possessions. Chet and Bam Adebayo are in the ~2.6 range. Mitchell Robinson’s at 1.6⁄100. Jalen Duren’s at 3.0. Jarrett Allen’s 2.4. He tends to catch the ball fine when it’s thrown up high; he just doesn’t do well when the ball’s fired at his knees.
A whole bunch of people that don’t watch Wolves games of course lol
Rudy’s basketball complaints are usually legit but also airing them publicly tends to annoy his teammates. Tale as old as time lol
I feel like it’s fairly well understood by most everyone else is that being part of a team means projecting unity publicly is generally a higher priority than telling the press the truth.
Even if Rudy’s right, that doesn’t automatically mean it’s the right thing to say. Should Rudy’s teammates talk more openly about how bad his hands are?
Should Rudy’s teammates talk more openly about how bad his hands are?
only if they’re also willing to talk about how they’re mostly dogshit at throwing an entry pass or a lob
it’s an issue that Rudy has to get his looks from Donte or Jaden because Ant/Randle decided it’s their turn to dribble for 20 seconds
If the players are dogshit at passes, doesn’t that make not passing a better decision?
Wtf are you saying hahahahahahaha
If a player is bad at dribbling, they should dribble as little as possible. If a player is bad at throwing lob passes, they should do that as little as possible.
lmao actually.
if you want to advocate for creating a 4v5 on offense and ignoring the most efficient shot in the league, be my guest.
I wasn’t trying to advocate for anything, I was trying to clarify the idea cause the poster seemed confused by the question.
If a player is bad at throwing lob passes, they should do that as little as possible.
i mean you literally just said they shouldn’t pass it to him if they’re not great at it
how is that anything but advocating for it
there was no confusion about the question, just about your ridiculous suggestion
Is this Cam thomas’ account?
ya, I do think one major problem, one that probably will still prevent us from winning at the very highest levels, is the ball sticks too much
it’s not a problem with any single person, per se. but who looks to move the ball first? maybe Donte? but he’s still a volume 3pt shooter. everyone else looks for a shot first. and again, it’s ok if Ant and Julius look for a shot first if like, Jaden looks to make a play, or Naz looks to make a play
it’s not that those guys don’t, it’s just not anyones first instinct. Kyle will help, a bit, but he won’t get enough minutes to really change the offensive culture
I think that’s why Finch was hanging onto Mike so long in the rotation. he just set the tone of ball movement, making the next pass. the wheels fell off at the end, but I think that was the idea
Quality analysis. Ball movement is the most reliable antidote to playoff defenses dialing in on your best players. The Wolves have two, maybe three top-shelf iso players, but that’s not going to win a chip in today’s NBA.
Unless it does. Ant does crazy shit sometimes.
Kyle is not getting any minutes lol he’s ass
SloMo was also one of if not the best passers to Rudy when he was here.
He’s been an underrated passing big for a few years ngl
He’s not going to be subbing in for a floor general anytime soon but he makes pretty good connective passes and reads in the short roll. Pretty similar to Steven Adams that way. Not incredible passers, but capable enough to manage
Loved him when he played for y’all, and the brief period he was with us
Two things can be right because everytime I’ve watched rudy in Utah and now here the dude had bricks for hands.
Felt like my rockets have played rudy gobert in the playoffs every time they’re in for like the past 12 years now lol.
Sure in a vacuum, but if you’re the most untalented and unskilled offensive player on the team and potentially in the whole league, I wouldn’t call out teammates for not passing to you. Why would they pass to Gobert in traffic if he’s just gonna turn it over, brick a layup, or allow himself to be fouled and miss the FTs?
It’d be like Julius Randle calling out the team for not playing enough defence
Great vibes with this team
Your offense’s first option should end a play, not start it.
in the immortal words of Deandre Ayton: “i can’t pass the ball to myself!”
I mean aren’t you making a 1 handed bounce pass to yourself every time you dribble?
So you mean pull up jumpers should also give you an assist? I like it
Listen my guy Tatum is about to come back can we not let him see this please.
New method for triple doubles unlocked
Great now James harden is averaging 30 apg
You’ll get more sidestep 3s with 18 seconds left in the shot clock, and you’ll like it.
Celtics fan here as well, but you already know JB done told him this! 🤣
This is exactly how dribbling the basketball started. Naismith initially described it as ingenious.
Damn, that’s deep.
Sound of one hand clapping type shit
I rmeber when they had a fight on the bench 😂
Enemies to lovers arc
(it was genuinely a positive turning point for the team)
You never know what you got till it’s gone 🥲
It’s genuinely infuriating seeing a 7’1” center with a guard a whole foot shorter mismatched onto him and not being thrown the ball for an easy 2. This happens way too often with Rudy and I can definitely understand his frustration when the team, especially Ant and Julius, decide to dribble the air out the ball and come up with an empty possession whilst he’s open down low.
This is the reason why Rudy said Mike Conley is his favorite teammate of all time—because besides his character, he actually knows when to pass the damn ball when he should.
I mean… have you seen him with the ball? I love Rudy but there’s a reason why teams put guards on him and dare the wolves to pass the ball.
I don’t give a damn if he has butterfingers. If your 7 foot big man has positioning with a player a foot shorter than him, you give him the ball. It’s a much higher percentage shot than a possession going nowhere with Ant or Julius iso’ing up top.
Tell me how it isn’t infuriating seeing him open down low with hands in the air calling for it, gets ACKNOWLEDGED by the ball handler, doesn’t receive the ball, and then he’s forced to get out of the paint before he’s called for the 3 seconds whilst a brick is thrown up and he’s out of the position for the offensive rebound too because the shot went up after he got out the paint. I’m not even a Rudy fan or anything, just calling something that isn’t logical out.
This has happened his whole career. It’s a Rudy problem not his teammates
Rudy has said he prefers guys pass him the ball head height or higher, that the low passes people give him are harder to control for various reasons. Then in a game well see Ant pass it to Rudy’s stomach in a crowd, the complete opposite of how Mike told him to do it.
Yea idk man. I’ve seen plenty of passes to Rudy just end up going through his hands. Or him making an awkward move and bricking a close shot. There is a reason Rudy never gets the ball. It doesn’t work.
He definitely fumbles more than he should but isn’t he averaging like 70% efficiency? That’s still a better play than almost any other shot you can get isn’t it?
He has the highest TS of any NBA player ever for his career.
He doesn’t miss shots when he’s able to take them. The issue is that he often gets stripped down low before he can put a shot up.
That happens about 20% of the time, the other 80% he takes the most efficient shot in the game and 2⁄3 of those he gets an and-1
Because he gets 90% of his points on uncontested putbacks and lob dunks. His efficiency is a byproduct of his narrow usage. If they fed him in the post his whole career, her would probably be below average efficiency for his position.
If they fed him in the post his whole career, her would probably be below average efficiency for his position.
And? If they fed Steph Curry in the post his whole career he’d be below average efficiency too, what’s your point?
There have been I don’t even know how many other players in NBA history who have played Gobert’s archetype, and he is more efficient than all of them. He’s not an offensive juggernaut or anything, but he is extremely good at the one or two things he does well at that end, and if he gets to his spot, you should be doing everything you can to dime him up.
This is such a simplistic view of basketball. Theres a reason guys like Gobert, Chandler, Jarrett Allen, and Daniel Gafford lead the league in TS% and have low TOs. They can’t do much besides dunk
Yeah that’s all they want him to do catch the ball when the other team is being greedy putting a smaller player on him and dunk
But again, the problem is that he’ll bobble it or put together an awkward possession that usually results in a bad look.
If he could just punish teams for matching smaller defenders then his coaches would take advantage of it. But there’s a reason why that hasn’t been an offensive focal point for teams throughout his NBA career.
It only works in theory; he’s really fucking limited and mostly bad on the offensive end. Gimmes aren’t as automatic as you’d think.
If the pass hits your hand, you fumble it, bend down to pick it up, then get triple teamed and have to pass back out, losing 7 seconds off the shot clock, that does not go into your efficiency stats.
Efficiency is only counted when you get the ball.
The counter point would be that his efficiency would go down if he wasn’t always being fed passes in the most advantageous position. Sometimes players shooting percentages are so high because they only take easy shots. If they fed Rudy the ball when he was about to take a slightly more difficult shot his FG% would probably drop to the lower 60’s, and since he’s a bad FT shooter the chances of scoring two would probably drop more.
They should get him the ball more, but it’s not as simple as just looking at his FG%
counter point, the lakers made him look like shaq at times last year. i think if you get that kind of mismatch, you kinda have to win or lose with one of your main guys
The lakers made him look like shaq for one game. He couldn’t do anything when the OKC guards were on him
Well the OKC guards also did bother Jokic plenty
Pat Bev and Terrence Mann also bothered Gobert plenty
And also he was straight dogshit the rest of the series. It only worked in one game where Redick tried the most bizarre defensive gameplan that totally blew up. But it’s not like Rudy Gobert was dominating in that round.
If Gobert was actually that effective offensively then teams would have definitely figured it out in a decade plus and utilized it.
you give him the ball
If you could just press a button and give him the ball like in 2K then yes, but part of the problem is that Edwards and Randle are not very good passers.
Compared to someone like Mike Conley, there’s a higher chance they turn it over and a higher chance that they deliver the ball in a spot where it’s hard for Gobert to do something with it. Making competent post entry passes is not something every player can do automatically.
Shit I used to think that way
But now I’m like, no let him go for 40 if he can
That’s less threes for the Timberwolves in total and less time that Ant-Man has the ball… Since you know Rudy’s not going to actually score 40 or even 30 it kind of makes sense
The nature of those possessions is when it messes up it looks comical and sticks out. So the perception is he’s messing up a lot more than he is.
Compare that with randle or ant iso where they miss and it looks more normal so it doesn’t stick out.
I guarantee you if you average the points wolves get from possessions where rudy gets a mismatch vs ant/randle iso the number is massively in Rudy’s favor.
That’s also true, I bet Rudy’s mistakes are visually harder to stomach rather than a miss.
He had 35 minutes on the floor against the Clippers, and he had ONE FGA, that Clippers team is not that big, you’re telling me in 35 minutes he wasn’t open once?
The clippers with Tyrone Lue literally won a playoff series putting Bev on him and letting Mann scoring 39 points. So yes, they know how to play vs Gobert
That was against us, who had very limited defense anywhere else.
T-Wolves aren’t the same story.
and that reason is because our two primary ball handlers can’t make the pass
Do you watch your own games? Like sure they can pass Rudy the ball more, but that doesn’t lead to a good possession most of the time. If he had Deandre Jordan’s hands he would easily average 4 more points
i’m not saying Rudy is some untapped offensive god. I’m saying guards are hidden on him because he’s not getting the pass, not because he’s easily defendable once the pass is made
he’s got a big ass target from the bottom of his ribcage to two feet above his head, and he’s very likely to catch it if it’s within his shoulder’s width*. as long as he can resist the urge to bring it down, a guard isn’t denying the pass or stripping him
* you’d like that target to be from his knees to above his head and the width of his arm span, but our guys should be able to hit a 15sqft target
I def agree that wolves guards could do more! But at that level, they know their own limitations and weigh it against getting Rudy 4 more points to feed his ego
His hands are terrible despite his decent ability to score under the rim
It’s because they won’t do it even if it makes sense to. Realistically speaking Gobert is not fumbling literally 50% of passes unless he’s recently suffered a concussion. Accepting a 20-25% chance of him fumbling a pass is absolutely worth it considering the kind of shot quality he’ll get on the times he doesn’t fumble it.
But because of how it feels when a play like that happens and because of how the rest of the Wolves players minus Mike Conley play, the perceived risk/cost is way higher than the actual, so guys will continue to find any reason not to pass to Gobert.
I remember he had the same complaint about Spida. You ever had a friend that only had bad roommates?
Tbf that jazz team gave 0 shits on defense and let Rudy do all the dirty work (esp ‘21 playoffs). I’d be complaining about eating too if I have to guard 80% of drives solely because the perimeter guards are cones.
Nobody’s asking for more post-up touches, it’s when he has a smaller player sealed under the rim. You just have to go straight up with it. He has the highest two-point percentage in the league by 30 points, it’s clearly in his wheelhouse.
Hes not that bad, his poor plays get overblown. Hes still leading in fg%, the teams gonna have to rely on him in the paint, theres no way around that
I mean 70% under the rim or 40% from the perimeter?
I don’t math too good, but I know 70 is bigger than 40.
Frankly Gobert cannot be trusted to do anything besides lobs and put backs. Cant even count the number of times over the years he’s been matched up with Eric Gordon or something and just fumbles the ball away
Gobert averages 1.6 turnovers a game in his career.
That’s quite a bit considering his very limited touches offensives. And it totally ignores any possession(s) where he fumbles the ball, has to re-secure, and then get it away after draining valuable seconds of a shot clock. And that has happened a LOT throughout his career.
Y’all really should just watch Rudy Gobert on offense for a whole two weeks worth of games; it’ll make it abundantly clear why he doesn’t get the ball much.
Rudy and “easy 2” shouldn’t be in the same sentence.
Conley was raised by Marc and ZBo so he knows how to respect his bigs
“Throw it to the hand”
-Zbo
His hands are terrible and he needs the ball to be passed in a specific way. Some people can pass it to him, but a lot of times when Randle and him are in the post and not rim running - theres a crowd. If I’m the other team I want you to throw it to Rudy. Lol
It’s not that easy of a 2 for Rudy.
Gobert never punishes mismatches that’s why they don’t give it to him. He can barely even catch the ball half the time
Feels like Wemby’s second year was the coaching staff drilling the guards “Just throw him the ball. Just throw it!”
He’s just that type of player. He barely has offensive game
That don’t pass it to him for good reasons
Passes to Gobert this season:
In Kyle Anderson’s last season with Minnesota, he passed to Gobert 142 times.
Says a lot when Ant has the ball the most and Donte has passed to him more
Even worse for Julius who is supposed to be the primary distributor
Ant and Randle have had close to the same amount of touches this year, and Randle has 300 more touches than Donte….
Randle is too busy passing it straight the hell out of bounds
Julius Randle is supposed to be the main distributor for the Wolves ? Times are tough
It’s why some of us have been hoping we’d turn Randle into a starting PG for a while now
I think he’s top 5 in the league in assists leading to threes
Tbf, even when he drives and kicks out, it’s going to be to a shooter usually. Julius throws bullets at Rudy’s knees whenever he tries to get a short pass to him too
He distributed the ball to the opposing teams.
Randle has the second most assists to Rudy behind Donte. Most of the Donte and Ant passes are handoff actions.
Well Donte is the starting PG
Is that including stuff like passes to him at the top of the 3pt line so he can do a handoff to a shooter?
Yes, all passes.
https://www.nba.com/stats/player/203497/passes-dash?PerMode=Totals&dir=D&sort=PASS
So these stats are dumb and don’t really tell anything
By themselves, but now we can also compare them to assists:
Donte 38
Randle 34
McDaniels 32
Edwards 29
Reid 11
Conley 11
Dillingham 7
Hyland 6
And everyone else is under 5. Hyland not passing that much it seems 😅
I didn’t realize the website could do stuff like this! I know what I’m doing later 😂
Is that including stuff like passes to him
Let me stop you right there
Both Ant and DDV spam that handoff action with Gobert to get open looks at pull up 3s. I don’t think it’s that useful of a stat if it’s including those.
For curiosity sake, do you have the numbers on time of ball possession for these players?
Edit: damn so it’s like I suspected. Probably bad news when the guy who touches the ball nearly as much as Ant and 300 more times than Donte passes the ball to our center less than all the starters and one bench player….
https://www.nba.com/stats/players/touches?PerMode=Totals&TeamID=1610612750&dir=D&sort=TIME_OF_POSS
Thank you
just as a gut feeling, it seems like Jaden has had the biggest improvement in passing to Gobert. I couldn’t find it with a google, but I’m wondering how many assists each of these guys has to Gobert - I suspect a high amount of Jaden’s passes to him turn into a shot attempt
Yes, passes from Jaden and Randle are much more likely to lead to FGA than passes from Ant or Donte.
https://www.nba.com/stats/player/203497/passes-dash?PerMode=Totals&dir=D&sort=FGA
oh shoot this is so sick, didn’t realize in your previous link that it had the FG breakdown
I’m actually surprised that Randle has been such a productive (if not prolific) passer to Gobert so that might be my bad
And this is why I fw Donte
Isn’t that what a point guard is for?
The team hasn’t had a starting level point guard for a while
Seems like they should get one.
Worry not, I’m suiting up next season
“We have just one question. Can you throw a decent entry pass?”
Baseballjohn89 on the court? Put him in coach.
We’ll trade Randle and a first and other assets for Kyrie and it’ll be all better (until Kyrie gets hurt in the playoffs)
Not necessarily. Kyrie could also get hurt before the playoffs.
Why not both?
Randle has more value than Kyrie, yall wouldnt be giving up assets
Maybe you don’t watch the Wolves but our biggest issue this year are effort and passing. In many respects Ant and Randle have the same strengths and weaknesses, but those strengths do not complement each other and the weaknesses compound on top of one another.
We’re talking about different things here. Kyrie is a scoring guard coming off an ACL tear at 33yo, he has less value than Randle who is 2 years younger on the same contract. Also Kyrie won’t solve your playmaking issues, you’d be replacing Randle with a guard version of him.
what do you mean, they just signed a proven veteran PG
Oh shit, you right. I wonder why they didn’t sign Mike Conley before the season.
Someone like Tre Jones on the Bulls would do wonders for them, but they chose Ayo instead.
Honestly i don’t get it, price differences on those two can’t be too different.
Tre is good. Just don’t expect him to be any kind of world beater. Won’t turn over the ball, though.
Bad passers on the Twolves and Randle who drives with head straight down.
Edit: a little harsh on Randle but its true, you often see Rudy wide open on PnR but Randle probably can’t see it
Ah good ol Randle. Hasn’t changed too much since his Knicks days.
The guy who got into a literal fight with Slowmo absolutely has the right to say shit like this
You know it isn’t coming from a place of bias or wanting to get a close friend going
That being said…..imagine the kinda reaction most all-stars would have if their teammate said this
Ants usually better, but this may be a skosh interesting
Ant is the most clutch player in the league and the most dynamic scorer our franchise has ever seen, but he is not a point guard. He is a true old fashioned “make something out of nothing” SG, like a Kobe/Reggie Miller hybrid.
And trading for Randle really destroyed what could have been valuable playmaking experience for Ant these last two years. There is absolutely a “your turn, my turn” problem when those two share the court (to the point where one just stands around when the other has the ball.) Ant has gone from a 5.1apg with KAT to 3.5 with Randle.
Obviously Ant still has time to develop more playmaking at just 24, but until that happens or until we nab a true elite point guard, our offense is severely limited by how hot our shooting is.
A lot of people outing themselves as casuals in this comment section. Rudy leads the league in FG% so all of these “Lol he’d just miss a dunk anyway” comments just make you look silly
It’s less about him missing a dunk, and more so about him fumbling the ball and then not be able to get a shot off because he’s situated himself out of position.
He hasn’t been doing that as much this season, his hands have been pretty decent
His ft shooting in the other hand…
He has 6 FGA per game.
I can make 4 out of 6 layups over five footers.
He leads the league in FTA/FGA, it’s basically like he gets an and-1 2 out of every 3 shots he attempts.
If only Gobert was as good as u/zgillet
I hear people say that all the time
I swear I miss that 🥷 Kyle Anderson. Least that 🥷 would pass the ball
Just say it Rudy. Wolves don’t have a point guard.. and that’s why their offense is so stagnant at times. Even with a player as talented as Ant, you need a guy to set up the offense.
Sounds like the question was asked by Dane Moore. I hope it’s his video too so ESPN isn’t able to use it.
Wow I guess Rudy’s teammates are the same ones I end up having to team with in random rec.
Rudy is just 7 foot Pat Bev
But ant is the mf pass
His point is that they lack ball movement. You need someone on the team that emphasizes passing the ball to get the ball moving, even if all they do is mostly passing the ball. You need this type unselfish role player on the team instead of iso ball mentality first and pass only if you get doubled or defenses collapses on you.
I’m genuinely thankful the wolves and rockets don’t have a starting PG available 😅
I mean we’ve spent how many picks trying to come up with a playmaking point guard, I think the front office and coaching staff would agree with this 100%
We’ve spent one pick
I’ve watched Minnesota games
The team never passes him the ball 😂
Only when it’s in desperation
Donte and Ant sometimes do, everyone else ignores him
I hate SloMo.
Rudy plays a lot of minutes with Ant and Randle, so this checks out. Although, I do feel like guys ball watch from the arc here and there instead of cutting, sliding to open a passing lane, or running off ball actions.
Does ant take offense to this? As gifted as Ant is, he can take something out of Cade Cunninghams book of tricks. Cade proves that you can score at a high clip AND get your teammates involved. You do not have to compromise one for the other.
I don’t know any of his teammates that ever like this guy
our whole offense is based on passing the ball. rudy just wants another conley replacement that focuses on passing HIM the ball. makes sense, its just weird coming from him because he sucks at catching the ball lol.
Comments about Rudy’s hands in here were expected but anyone who has watched the team this year knows he has actually been great at catching passes relative to past years and his touch around the rim on non-dunks has improved as well. Julius just throws fastballs on 90% of his passes and Ant still is very inconsistent on when he will or won’t pass to an open Rudy. Jaden has been the best passer to him over the last couple years since KAT left IMO
Yup. Both Ant and DiVincenzo are terrible passers for their positions. Ant is the worst passer of any high-volume creator.
Ricochet talking shit again?
I guess AEW related jokes aren’t welcome here
That was a good one.
I’m an AEW fan but bro does talk a lot on twitter lmao
solid ref
BALD
Good nick name for rissacher
Haha Rudy really thinks he’s a 6’8” slasher, that’s always been his Achilles heel. He’s always got his hands up, looking for a pass when he should be boxing out.
Just rebound and block shots vs pass the ball
Ah yes dude who drops the most passes.
